In a pentagonal pyramid number of faces, vertices and edges are
- (a)F = 6, V = 6, E = 10
- (b)F = 7, V = 7, E = 12
- (c)F = 6, V = 8, E = 12
- (d)none of these

A pentagonal pyramid is a pyramid whose base is a pentagon.
Its faces are the pentagonal base and the 5 triangular lateral faces.
Number of faces, F = 1 + 5 = 6
Its vertices are the 5 vertices of the pentagonal base and the apex.
Number of vertices, V = 5 + 1 = 6
Its edges are the 5 edges of the pentagonal base and the 5 slant edges.
Number of edges, E = 5 + 5 = 10
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
